a. We take pride in the art of our mulching. Using hand edging tools in conjunction with edging machines, we provide the cleanest and most defined bed edges.
b. We hand spread our mulch for more even application (instead of machine blown), and we apply a pre-emergent to all of our mulched beds.
c. We suggest getting on our mulch schedule early, because April-June are the busiest months, and our schedule gets very full, quickly.
d. We offer our bed maintenance program (above) to keep your mulch weed and debris free for the whole season. - Planting of flowers and plants
a. We can recommend or take suggestions. We use healthy plants and flowers from premium providers and will give you care instructions, but we are not responsible for the replacement or care of the plants, unless specifically hired to do so ( see level two of bed maintenance). - Landscape Designs – See “Terms of Service” for additional information
a. Designs range from $150-$250 depending on the size and detail. This cost will be put toward the job cost, if you decide to have the work done by Wohlf.
b. We will sit with you to discuss your needs, colors, and ideas to create a design that works for you. We can design flower beds and a landscape that creates a succession of beauty and color through every season. We can also focus on designs to attract birds, butterflies and wildlife and/or adapt the garden to a native plant design. - Fall Cleanup (one-time service)

We can add 1-2 more treatments, which will be spray applications for broadleaf weeds and crabgrass, depending on the needs of your lawn. - Other Lawn Services – All best done in early spring or early fall
a. Overseeding/Slit Seeding – We cross slit your yard, lay a blend of grass seed, then add a starter fertilizer.
b. Aeration – This is to provide oxygen to the soil. This service goes really well with overseeding and lawn fertilization.
c. Dethatching – Think of exfoliating your lawn. We run our detacher, and it roughs out the old dead grass and weeds, making room for new grass to grow. We then overseed and fertilize.
d. Getting all three services done is one way to create a stunning and healthy lawn.
